WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-The postal tele-

countries has been so much of d success
that those who are studying this problem.
of Government telegraph for popular
use, find themselves good deal encour.
aged In their belief that the system will
be adopted here. The latest annual report
of the British Post-ofice Department
shows that the number OF messages
sent by the postal telegraph sys-.
tenn of Great Britain last year was
in round numbers 10000, 600. A
couple of years ago the price Of kilograms
was put down to a sixpence for any part
Of the United Kingdom, and the result was
an increase OF, nearly twenty per cent. in
the volume of business There has been
steady growth in the use of the telegraph
by the masses since the Government took
possession of it. The number of messages
sent In 1870 was less than 1000O,000, in
1885, 40, ,000, GOO. And they were carried at
a sixpence apiece, ana a profit made, too.
There has also been established within the
pastfcw years q telephone system, part
of the Post-office Department., and auxil-
iary to the telegraph. There are some
thirty odd exchanges with thousands of
subscribers. The Department also has
twenty-seven miles of Pneumatic tubes in
London by which messages are sent to and
from the telegraph offices inLondon. They
carry these manuscript messages in letter
boxes which shoot along under ground in
side the tubes at the rate of thirty miles
an hour. On q recent occasion when
the. Irish bill was under discussion, in
the House of Commons over 100 manuscript
messages were thus sent by these tubes to
the main Office of the Governments postal
telegraph in single nights business, and
over a million and a half Of words were sent
by the wires on that same occasion. The
Postal Savings Bank system of Great
Britain is quite as important feature Of
the Post-office Department as is the tel
egraph system. Its depositors now number
three and a half millions and their deposits

Nashville, Tenn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. ia daring
highway robbery and almost murder
was committed on the Lebanon pike Satur-
day night. A German named Clemons, u
gardener at Mount Olivet Cemetery, had
been in town purchasing provisions, and
was returning on foot, when, within 100
yards Of the bridge five men dashed on to
him from the roadside. Two approached,
and one stepped in front OF him
to ask some questions: another
grabbed his throat from behind and
endeavored to choke him. Before any re-
sistance was possible the one first men,
toned gave him murderous blow with a
heavy stone above the left temple, which
knocked him down and rendered him al
most senseless They then rifed his pock-
cts, but got only silver watch. The one
on guard exclaimed: "Here comes q
wagon when they jumped the fence and
disappeared through the corn-feld. As
the wagon, an express containing two
men, approached, he called to them to
stop, that he was all cut to pieces. Evil

stop and rob them, the occupants applied
the whip vigorously and forced the animal
to a run. Feeling that his life depended
on keeping in hearing of the wagon, he
ran after it and managed to get home. A
doctor was called and Clemons' skull
found broken badly, and he may die. No

Millions Worth OF Chicago Property
Claimed by n Frenchmans Heirs.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.--What would be o
very important bill, fit were not known
that the claimants have engaged in such
litigation before, and that their legal titles
are not highly regarded, was filed in
the U. S. Circuit Court here to-
day. The complainants are the.
heirs of John Reaubien, u French
Canadian, who in 1919 squatted ON the
ground now forming the eastern side OF
the business portion Of Chicago. He held
undisputed possession until 1S40, when
the Federal War Department ousted him.
Beaubien by law had the right to pur-
chase the tract of the Government at 81. %
an acre, and It is asserted that he elected
to do so, but the War Department sum
marily elected him. The value of the land
is now far up in the millions, being occu-
pied by many OF the largest wholesale
houses and retail stores In the city,
not to mention scores of wharves and a
vast network of railroad tracks. The bill
is to compel the Government to grant
Beauben's heirs patent to the land.
They claim all the property between Mad
ison street and the Chicago river and
State street and Lake Michigan, excepting
the four acres once occupied by Fort Dear
born. 1t has been claimed that Beaubien
received other land in lieu of his claim,
but this is denied by the heirs. ~.

THE POPULAR PARTY.
An Indiana Editor Tells, why democracy
- Was YictOrions fn.t1 676 and 1884.


Since its-under the circumstances
overwhelmingdefea at the polls near
i three years ago, the Republican
party has gbeen'trying to convince itself
and the outside world that that defeat
was the result Of an accident, or acci-
dents. and asa CONSEQUENCE the merest
incidents, unimportant either in them
selves or their relations, have been
marshaled together and paraded as the
causes of the party's disastrous defeat.
In this way Brother Burchard's un-
fortunate ALTERATION on tile eve of the
battle in Now York has been made to
do dutyas .onesofS the principal chuses
OF Blaine's defeat. There are other in
cidents equally as triiiing that have
been used in the same way and for the
same purpose. The closeness of the
vote in certain localities like New York
and New Jersey makes this theory
seem plausible, and yet neverwas there
a theory so unfounded
The history of this country from its
beginning shows that tho sentiment of
its people, when in normal condition,
is favorable to the principles underly-
ing the Democratic party, II accidents
have played u part in politics ht NIL the
Republicans have been the gamers by
them rather than the losers. The alb
normal has salways been the bencficia-
ry of accidents. not the normal. Had
it not been for accidents and blunders
tho Democratic party would not have
lost power in 1860, and had 1t not been
for the abormal condition of affairs
following the suppression Of the rebel
l'cn the Democratic party would have
been returned to power years before it
was. The talk about accidents defeat.
ing the Republican party is tho sheer
est nonsense. The people had been
ready to restore the Democrats to pow
er long before Blaine's defeat, and
iycre only prevented from doing it by
systematic misrepresentation ON tile
part of the Republicans. The war had
left the public mind in an excited, qb-
normal condition that was easily af-
fected by accidental or Incidental
causes. There is no doubt that ut the

In the Flames OF Burning Vessel at
Boston.
Boston, Sept, About ten o'clock this
morning the schooner War Eagle, loaded
with naphtha, was lying near the wharf
opposite John Cunningham's oil store
house, near the Chelsea bridge.
Four men were on the deck and
one below. Suddenly there was puff
of black smoke, followed by tremen-
dous explosion, throwing the deck of
the vessel into the air. In the
midst Of flame and smoke were the bodies
of four men. They were hurled high
above the schooner, and then fell back
into the flames that, filled the boat. The
fifth man jumped overheard and was
drowned. The flames quickly spread to
Cunningham's storehouse, which was'soon
destroyed. Meanwhile the burning hulk
drifted around against the draw-bridge,
and burned away the draw. This Shut on
the Boston fire department and prevented
their getting to the Chelsea side of the
bridge. The names of the men on the
schooner have not been ascertaincd. zs.

would not be taken in custody if he would

Great Storms in Arizona.

Tucson, ARIz., Sept. 1.-THE storms of
Thursday and Friday were the most severe
ever known in this section. Five miles of
the Southern Pacific track between this
point and Benson, was washed away. Two
large bridges over the Cenago and Rillita
rivers were destroyed. Telegraph wires
are down, and in some places are
imbeded ten feet in the sand. Steel
rails are carried a quarter mile down the
river and rescattered for miles down the
stream. Southern Pacific trains are being
run over the Atlantic and Pacific road
Washouts are also reported all along the
line from Tucson to Yuma. From parties
in from San Pedro and Rillita rivers it is
learned that the food is the worst ever
known in Arizona, and many old land
marks have been washed away and fields
OF grain swept over. The Southern Pa
citic officials say that travel over the road
can not be resumed for week.

pie feared to trust the Democratic
party with power. Il was but
a natural fear considering tho
abuse of that power that some of the
party's Southern leaders, urged on by
State pride, had but just been guilty
of. That fear in the excited state OF
the public mind was augmented by the
monstrous falsehoods concocted by the
Republican press which invested in
cidents Of. Southern life. that now pass
,uinoticed, into outrages horrible. and
new trcasons. The Democratic party
lived through, it all, however, because
it was founded npor principles that
were undying, and lived down the
errors of its leaders. The people,
though they feared some influences in
1t, never wholly lost confidence in the
Democratic party. Tho people were
inclined to trust it long before the Til
den campaign and did trust it in some
States, but blunders by some Of its
leaders exaggerated by the old fear,
which was kept alive by Republican
falsehoods, succeeded, lin defeating it
in Presidential contests until 1876.
Tilden's we'll known wisdom and
conservatism allayed doubt and
fear and restored faith in the party.
That he was elected and defraudcd Of
the prize he had won is known to the
whole world. Eight years later Cleve-
lands conservative common sense BAN

that yet remained in the public mind
and he carried his party to success.
The people believed he. was stronger
than any evil influence that might still
reside in his party and they trusted
him. Neither Brother Burohard nor
Roscoe Conkling elected HIM The
people did it because they believed
that the Democratic party, under
wise leader, was tile best party to trust
with the future of this Republic. The
Republican party, apparently blind to
the fact that it has bses, repudiated by
the people, is laying its plans for 1888
upon the theory that the defeat Of 'S4
was the result of accident. That that
is not true seems evident to us; but it
is probable our Republican friends will
not realize the falseness of their theory
